The delivery of protective gowns to healthcare staff in the UK in particular is "pressured at the moment," Downing Street has said.

The PM's spokesman told reporters there was a "global supply problem" with procuring the kit.

Earlier, a minister said he was "hopeful" a delayed delivery of gowns expected over the weekend would leave Turkey today.

The spokesman said efforts were being made to make the delivery as soon as it was ready, but said the UK was not dependent on Turkey and had "plenty more orders lined up and expected".

He added that in total one billion pieces of protective equipment have now been delivered to healthcare staff.

At least 70 healthcare workers have died in the UK since the start of the outbreak, ongoing BBC News analysis has shown.

Further analysis suggests healthcare workers with black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds are disproportionately represented among the dead.

Out of 60 deaths where we have been able to establish ethnicity and occupation, 42 have BAME backgrounds.

About one in five of the NHS's 1.2 million workforce are from BAME backgrounds, government figures show., external

Public Health England is set to start recording the ethnicity of those to die with coronavirus, after research suggested people from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds are at greater risk of becoming seriously ill.

BBC News has been hearing from the families and colleagues of some of the healthcare workers to have died so far.

In normal times, UK children would be returning to class today after Easter - but with schools still closed, most remain at home.

In a bid to help educate the nation's schoolchildren during the lockdown, the BBC is offering 14 weeks of curriculum-based learning.

Sir David Attenborough, Jodie Whittaker and Professor Brian Cox are among the famous faces stepping in as "supply teachers".

What the stars will teach:

• Manchester City footballer Sergio Aguero will help youngsters learn to count in Spanish
• Sir David Attenborough will look at geography topics such as oceans and mapping the world
• Former shadow chancellor Ed Balls will deliver a maths class for 11 to 14-year-olds
• Professor Brian Cox will teach science topics such as force, the solar system and gravity
• EastEnders actor Danny Dyer will give a history class for five to seven-year-olds on Henry VIII

Manchester City and France footballer Aymeric Laporte bought the 2012 Olympic outfit worn by the late boxer Alexis Vastine at a charity auction for French health workers - then returned the kit to Vastine's family.

Vastine died aged 28 in a helicopter crash in 2015.

His father donated the outfit to an auction organised by French handball player Cyril Dumoulin.

“Thank you Aymeric. Your talent is great, your heart too,” said Dumoulin.

French media report that Laporte's winning bid was 5,000 euros (£4,350).

A three-person committee has begun looking into an incident over the weekend when 100,000 people defied the nation-wide lockdown in Bangladesh.

They broke the rules to attend the funeral of Maulana Jubayer Ahmed Ansari, external, a senior member of an Islamist party.

The incident has sparked fears of leading to massive Covid-19 clusters emerging from the event. Bangladesh has confirmed more than 2,400 cases so far and 91 deaths.

Here's more news from the rest of South Asia:

• Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged citizens to stay at home and follow social distancing orders as cases continue to soar in the region. The country has more than 8,400 infections so far
• Over the weekend, Nepal sealed 14 mosques and quarantined 33 Indians and seven Pakistanis who were taking refuge in them, local media reported, external
• Sri Lanka will ease its strict lockdown next week, authorities said on Saturday. The island nation has reported just under 250 positive cases and seven deaths.

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon confirms 8,450 people have tested positive for coronavirus in Scotland, up 263 from yesterday.

A total of 1,809 patients are in hospital with suspected or confirmed Covid-19, with 169 being treated in intensive care.

A further 12 patients have died, meaning 915 deaths have now been recorded after a positive test. However, she cautions that death registrations over the weekend tend to be lower than on weekdays.

Scotland's actual virus death toll is likely to be higher than 915, as the figure only includes deaths in hospital. This breakdown explains more.

In the UK, self-isolation and social distancing have become essential measures to stem the spread of the virus.

Here are our guides on how to do both of them properly.

The latest statistics from China’s National Health Commission indicate that hundreds of people were wrongly listed as cured/discharged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.

The number of people cured there was reported as 47,300 on Friday, but that figure has quietly dropped today - down to 46,359.

The number of people cured in China at a nationwide level has dropped in line with this. On Friday, 77,944 people were reported as having been cured of Covid-19. But today, that figure has fallen to 77,084.

On Friday, the Wuhan municipal government revised its number of confirmed cases and deaths, to say an extra 1,290 people had died. It said the delays for releasing this information were due to some patients dying at home, being treated in hospitals that didn’t pass their information to the central network, or because of reported errors.

But the National Health Commission’s official figures seem to suggest that as many as 941 cases of Covid-19 in the central city may have been incorrectly reported as cured over the last three months.

The Duke of Edinburgh has released a message to everyone helping to tackle the coronavirus pandemic across the UK, and keeping essential services running.

Prince Philip, 98, said he wanted to recognise the "vital and urgent" work being carried out by medical and scientific workers to protect people from Covid-19.

He also thanked key workers - including postal workers, waste collectors and supermarket workers - who "ensure the infrastructure of our life continues".

The Duke moved from his usual residence in Sandringham, Norfolk, as the pandemic reached the UK. He is currently living with the Queen, 93, at Windsor in Berkshire.

The UK needs the "right combination of skills" at the centre of government during the coronavirus crisis, former prime minister Tony Blair has said.

He said the private sector may be better placed than the public sector to ensure personal protective equipment (PPE) is delivered to frontline workers.

The former Labour prime minister also refused to criticise current PM Boris Johnson for missing emergency Cobra meetings on the crisis. He said such matters were for a "later stage".

It follows a report in the Sunday Times, external that Mr Johnson did not chair five of the earliest meetings focused on the threat of this pandemic.

US President Donald Trump used his White House briefing yesterday to continue his feud with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Reporters saw clips selected by the White House, including one in which the governor praised the federal government's "extraordinary efforts".

In another, Cuomo said that none of the virus's victims in New York had died because of a shortage of hospital space or ventilators.

While it is true that Cuomo has praised the response at federal level he has also been highly critical.

Governor Cuomo has pushed back against the president's claim to have absolute power to re-open America's economy. He insists that New York state should only ease restrictions after more tests, and has pushed for antibody tests to be ramped up.

New York state is experiencing the largest outbreak in America, with nearly a quarter of a million confirmed cases and 13,869 deaths.

Other restrictions like a ban on social gatherings and closure of schools will remain in force, while border crossings will stay shut for two more weeks to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The president said the decision follows a better understanding of the nature of the virus, success in containing its spread, an enhanced testing programme and the expansion of isolation and treatment centres.

The country has now recorded 1,042 cases of coronavirus and nine deaths. Over 60,000 samples have been tested in the country.

A senior NHS figure says there is "relatively low confidence" a delayed delivery of 400,000 protective gowns will arrive on Monday.

The consignment had been expected to arrive from Turkey on Sunday.

Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, told the BBC there was "no doubt" some hospital trusts already had shortages of the gowns, which protect those treating coronavirus patients.

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said he was "hopeful" the delivery from Turkey would arrive on Monday and that the government was "working very hard" to resolve "challenges at the Turkish end".

There's been a lot of debate on whether healthy people should wear masks, and many places around the world have now either made it compulsory or issued advisories. Germany for instance has become the latest country to urge its residents to wear masks in public. But what is the official advice from the World Health Organization? After a recent meeting to discuss the issue, it still maintains that medical masks should be reserved only for healthcare workers and not for the general public.

The BBC's health correspondent Laura Foster explains the WHO's position and the scientific argument behind it.

Virgin Group boss Richard Branson has written an open letter , externalto the company's employees warning Virgin Atlantic will collapse unless it receives government financial support, saying this is the "most challenging time" the company has faced in five decades of business.

He writes: "It is hard to find the words to convey what a devastating impact this pandemic continues to have on so many communities, businesses and people around the world. From a business perspective, the damage to many is unprecedented and the length of the disruption remains worryingly unknown."

It has been reported that the carrier is asking for up to £500m ($614M) of public money. Sir Richard writes: "This would be in the form of a commercial loan - it wouldn't be free money and the airline would pay it back."

He also defends himself from criticism of his request for help from taxpayers, saying: "I’ve seen lots of comments about my net worth – but that is calculated on the value of Virgin businesses around the world before this crisis, not sitting as cash in a bank account ready to withdraw."

He adds: "Much has been said about Virgin Atlantic employees taking a wage reduction for eight weeks, spread across six and a half months. This was a virtually unanimous decision made by Virgin Atlantic employees and their unions who collectively chose to do this to save as many jobs as possible – it was not forced upon them by management."

Police in South Africa have arrested a man for smuggling his girlfriend in the back of a car during a nationwide lockdown.

Faith Mazibuko, an official from the province of Guateng, tweeted that the woman was found during a security check on Friday.

The woman was also arrested for "consenting to be smuggled," Mrs Mazibuko added.

South Africa imposed a lockdown on 24 March for three weeks but the authorities have extended it until the end of April.

Travel across the country is restricted for everybody except those providing essential services, as defined by the government.

British supermarkets have been making contingency plans to cope with bouts of panic buying and potential disruption to food supplies caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

One country that the UK depends on more than any other for fresh fruit and veg is Spain, where around a quarter of fresh produce sold in UK supermarkets comes from in the summer.

But there are questions over how some Spanish companies are treating their migrant workers, who mainly come from Africa.

"If you want to work like a slave, then there is a lot of work," one labourer, who did not want to be named, told the BBC.

"But if you ask for your rights, then you can't work."

The conditions are miserable. Some are paid below the minimum wage, live in shanty towns and work without breaks in greenhouses that are 50C inside.
